Lots going On

We have had quite a bit going on the last month or so. That would be the reason for the lack of updating. We have moved into our new house and I LOVE IT!!! I love the room we now have. We have also been to St. George, out to Vernon and had a little experience with some goats. Hopefully life will be slowing down for a minute, but somehow I don't think so. 

Playing in St. George over Mother's Day weekend. We went hiking in Snow Canyon, played in the park, went swimming and Mckinley went bowling for the very first time. She loved it. Mckinley keeps asking me when we can go bowling again.

Mckinley got a bike when the weather pretended to warm up. We went and picked out a bike helmet at the store.  Aidie does not like to be left out so she also picked out a helmet and has decided it is her "hat". She loves to put it on and wear it so sometimes I have to hide it. If you can see from these pictures Mckinley does have a black eye.

We went out to Vernon for Derek's uncles 90th birthday. We had fun at a picnic with all the extended family. The girls had fun running around.

We went for a drive up the canyon after going to Vernon. The girls loved getting out and playing in the little streams, taking a nap and just playing in the dirt.

Hanging out at the kitchen table. Meal time is always an adventure. I never know who is going to eat or what they will eat.

Derek found a kitchen table on KSL for a really good deal. We decided to re-upholster the chairs since the last owner had cats all over them. The chair on the right is the original material. I really like how the new chairs came out. (the one on the left is the re-upholstered one)

Just a sneek peek on what is going on.

Oh...and the goats:

We owned these sweet little goats for about two weeks. Due to the fact that we had just moved and did not have a fence up yet, we were not able to keep them (Oh and both Derek and I were stressed beyond belief). The girls were so sad to give them away. One of my good friends wanted them meaning that my girls can see them anytime. The little boy (white goat in the top pic scratching his head) and the little girl (brown goat bottom pic) are very sweet. I have to keep telling Mckinley we will get goats again when we have a fence. Who needs a dog when we can have goats.

Finishing Building

 
The finishing process of our exterior. The color was not totally what I expected but the more I look at it the more I like it. I LOVE the rock on the outside. It is my favorite.

The kitchen is surprisingly one of my favorite rooms in the house. I love the island in the kitchen and the granite counter tops.
